J Hus’s verse introduces a grittier narrative layer to the track. His lines pivot from the chorus’s celebration to reflect on the past struggles that paved the way for current success. He paints vivid pictures of a challenging environment, referencing “fallen soldiers,” constant vigilance, and the moral compromises of survival. Lyrics like “Come from a place full of vulture, had to sell yola” and “Stand on business, look in the eye of a cobra” convey a hardened resilience. This verse adds depth, acknowledging that the journey to becoming “richer” is fraught with loss and tension, a theme long present in the British rapper’s storytelling repertoire.
Seyi Vibez returns with a bridge that uses the metaphor of a “roller coaster” to describe life’s unpredictable turns, further enhancing the song’s dynamic feel for group performance. The blend of languages and themes creates a rich lyrical tapestry. It connects the everyday reality of millions of fans with grand ambitions, making it an effective and engaging track for audiences to chant along to, from the streets of Lagos to clubs in London. The lyrics do not shy away from the complexities of this ascent, making the final, repeated chorus of “I’m getting rich and richer” feel earned and powerfully collective.

Lyrics
[Chorus: Seyi Vibez & Choir]
I’m getting rich and richer
I’m getting rich and richer, oh baby, remember, ah
She confirm say I be soldier
No go leave am to dey suffer
Before before, I been knew that
Mami water, buy me Goyard, mami water, buy me Gucci
I fit to buy you Birkin
To ba farabale fun mi, baby
I’m getting rich and richer
I’m getting rich and richer, oh baby, remember, ah
[Verse: J Hus]
Finger ‘pon trigger
In the war, don’t shake, don’t shiver
Me and you differ
I rise my blicker, mad and sicker
For the ones we lost, we pour down liquor
Reminisce when I look ‘pon your picture, could’ve cried a river
Fallen soldiers, still got the old revolver
Come from a place full of vulture, had to sell yola
Same place that stretch that boy like yoga
No one witnessed, only Jehovah
Every day mischief, when will it over?
Light my big spliff, when will I sober?
Stand on business, look in the eye of a cobra
Every day, English, make me forget my culture
But never forget my soul cah
[Bridge: Seyi Vibez]
Roller, roller coaster
As e dey go, turn by turn
Shawty, you dey bite my tongue
Turn, turn by turn
Rollie, roll in dollar
As e dey go, turn by turn
Shawty, you dey bite my tongue
Turn, turn by turn
[Chorus: Seyi Vibez & Choir]
I’m getting rich and richer
I’m getting rich and richer, oh baby, remember, ah
She confirm say I be soldier
No go leave am to dey suffer
Before before, I been knew that
Mami water, buy me Goyard, mami water, buy me Gucci
I fit to buy you Birkin
To ba farabale fun mi, baby
I’m getting rich and richer
I’m getting rich and richer, oh baby, remember, ah
